Pacquiao Promotions President Addresses PED Allegations and VADA Drug Testings
Sean Gibbons explains everything you need to know.
Sean: The end of last year we signed up for the WBC VADA clean testing. 365 24/7. Manny can be tested anytime. After signing up for that we were doing a fight Jan 19 with Adrien Broner. We signed up for Vada for that fight.
Sean: So leading up to the Thurman fight we thought it's going to basically the same type of drug testing. Whoever administers it we have no problem. We already signed up. We got the papers 45 days out to sign up again what we thought was Vada, but it turned out to be that the Nevada athletic commission using VADA. So either way you look at it. Vada still administered. It's the same.
Sean: If you are not enrolled in the WBC clean boxing program. You are not in the ranking at all.
Interviewer: Manny Pacquiao considering this was his 24 world title fight. Wouldn't that be considered the most drug tested fighter of all time?
Sean: I think so. 24 world titles is unheard of in this game. Hopkins did 20, GGG did around 20. He brings to in the top of fighters being Drug tested.
Sean: Kinda like an ego thing. Doctor Margaret Goodman (vada). She wanted to be in control of it, She wanted to be in control of it. Nevada athletic commission was in-charge of the whole fight. They called and hired her. So she put out a press release that is completely wrong started this statement which was a complete lie. I'm very upset with Dr. Goodman. Why would she do this and try to tarnish Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman who are 2 of the cleanest fighters.. but she put it upon herself just because she wasn't doing it personally? It's absurd.
Interviewer: And in context Dr Goodman was the long time ring side Physician for Nevada.
